  • Dedications: This ones for Tomsk, and for everyone else from around the
    world who mailed me to ask (you know who you are) :o)
     
  • This is a deceptively easy number. Keep those disco octaves rock-steady, and
    in the sliding section try and add a bit of swing
    into the bassline, get yourself grooving ;o) Any comments as usual to my new
  • address: loafer@larry.prestel.co.uk
     
    Brief key: 3/5 means slide from fret 3 to 5, X means muted note on
  • corresponding string,
    3h5 means hammer-on from fret 3 to fret 5
     
  • Intro. (Note - all notes softly plucked (I use my thumb for this section)
    and each note not marked X must last!!!)
    (There are some stray muted notes in here as well, listen to the
  • record for timing!)

    Main Riff. (Note - the octaves are all played Stacatto, ie abruptly or
    sharply. Use thumb and middle fingers, its the easiest)
  • (way to play these disco-type things. Some of the notes are slid
    onto: I'll mark those with a *. Listen to the)
    (record, you'll know what I mean. This riff crops up a lot
  • throughout the song. I'll only write it down once though.)
